Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) in collaboration with Integrated Social Development Centre (ISODEC) will organise a high-level West Africa policy conference on inequalities and natural resource management in Accra.<\/p>\n

The four-day conference, slated for August 16-20, 2022, will address the role of natural resources management in reducing the widening economic and social inequalities in the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) region.<\/p>\n

The Conference will draw participants from five ECOWAS countries- Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone and Senegal.<\/p>\n

Addressing a pre-conference meeting with stakeholders in Accra, Dr Kodjo Esseim Mensah-Abrampa, the Director General, NDPC, said inequalities and natural resources were key assets to the development of Africa.<\/p>\n

The ability, he stated, to exploit and utilise those resources to improve on the citizens well-being were critical to the growth of the continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are issues of inequalities as to who is benefiting from these resources.These are assets and when not managed well might be a liability. Failure to manage these processes might affect Africa\u2019s quest to development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the Commission was pushing for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 10.<\/p>\n

The Director General said the best way to manage the resources was to protect it and ensure equitable distribution for the benefit of all.<\/p>\n

Mr Charles Bugre, a Development Consultant, said the Conference would determine the impact of natural resource governance from the Government policies to reduce inequalities in the sector.<\/p>\n

Among others, he said, the Conference would touch on lessons from community and women\u2019s struggles in the natural resource governance area and strategies to strengthen government leadership in the sector.<\/p>\n

Ms Atieno Ndomo, the Conference Manager, said the goal of the event was to highlight policy pathways for the attainment of the SDG 10 through better natural resource management.<\/p>\n

The outcome of the Conference, she said, was to prepare a technical paper, highlighting policy options for equitable development through transformed natural resource management.<\/p>\n
